I don’t want to hear about your Plex, your NPM, your notes application or science forbid, your budgeting application. I want to hear the most exotic thing you setup to selfhost, that probably only you and a hand full of people around the world actually use or even need. A problem that you solved in a way, that makes people go WTF. Go!
I’ll start: I live in the mountains, and there is snow, lots of snow. I often tell people “We had 3m of snow last year”, but is that really true? So, I thought to myself: Can you measure snowfall? It seems you can, so I setup a USH-9 ultra sound measuring device, connected it via IC2 to my Home Assistant and now I can tell people with confidence, that we had a total of 3.45m of snowfall last season, with max snow height of 60cm on January 5th.
Future project: I have chickens. They lay eggs. I have cameras. I want to know which hen lays how many eggs. Solution? AI image recognition of the hens (who is who) and if they have laid an egg. Any inputs welcome.
Ugh, I think the craziest thing I do selfhosting-wise is use a full fledged project management tool as a todo list.
I need to up my game!!
But have you repeatedly tried every freakin’ open-source project management tool out there multiple times just to have the chef’s-kiss perfect todo list?
If you have, then we can sit together. :)
Not yet, honestly I’m pretty happy with OpenProject. While I won’t claim it doesn’t have short comings I will claim they don’t bother me.
